People Say

Powers of today
So pretty damn confused
Giving everybody
In the world the rules
Food is getting high
And the fuel is getting low
The rich is getting richer
And the poor is getting poor

People say, people say
Have I got a right to live?
People say, people say
What the people say, what the people say

Have your share and my share
And your share is my share too
Your eyes are blindfolded
And your mind controlled
What the powers do to you
Destruction is in the air, oh yeah
And when is it going to quit?
Somebody end the madness

People say, people say
Have I got a right to live?
People say, people say
What the people say, what the people say

Robbing and they're stealing
And they're breaking in your home
It's getting a little dangerous
To walk the streets alone
Somebody better get on the case
The real thing, the real thing
And you got no time
No time to waste

People say, people say
Have I got a right to live?
People say, people say
What the people say, what the people say
